Ghost Thrower sign, EP out April 19

Equal Visions Records has officially signed Ghost Thrower and will officially release their debut EP, Get Miserable, on April 19 (with two bonus tracks).

Ghost Thrower, which is comprised of vocalist Travis Alexander [formerly of Therefore I Am], Nick Webster [ex-Shipwreck A.D.] on bass, Robbie Rose [ex-Bravo Fucking Bravo, Lunglust] on drums, and Ben Anderson on guitar, formed as a result of Therefore I Am calling disbanding. They self-released a three-song version of Get Miserable through their Bandcamp late last year and, according to Alexander, helped give him a newfound sense of purpose.

“A dear relationship ended, my band (the only thing I’ve known for five years) was breaking up and a close family member passed away.” commented Alexander in the press release. “On a more superficial level, I was completely poor, jobless and homeless. I had a bad brain. Nothing was normal, nothing was cool and most of all, nothing felt good.”

“I had a lot of song ideas, so I used my friend’s attic to record some demos and one-liners from my notebook and I found solace in music agains. I literally listened to nothing but the demos on repeat for weeks and realized that these songs had a weird way of helping me commiserate with my own misery. I figured that if I could write bummed out music for bummed out people to connect with, I might find some sort of happiness (as well as supplying some to others).”

Expect MUCH MORE from Ghost Thrower to appear on UTG in the coming weeks. If you haven’t done so already, click here to listen to three songs from Get Miserable.
